Submachine guns

Steels got it.

It is one of my dreams to have a Sten + PIAT kit somewhere in one or two maps. Preferably a Canadian map . Really hard to find so it's rarely used, and something like two bombs for the PIAT and three magazines for the Sten, but a kit like that would be worth a bit of a hike from the Allied main into the countryside to get your hands on.

Too OP, the devs think, and not historically correct. The Hi-Power is enough in the PIAT, love to go Jack Bauer with it.

i refuse to see such a kit

PIAT, zooka and Shreck where a ton of weight. A sidearm was the best these men got

The panzerfaust is a completly diffrent story.

MP40 and Beretta get my love. And Thompson with drum mag (enough bullets to hit someone!)

I have grown fond of the sten gun with semi-auto mode. Everybody faps on MP40 yet sten has the same ingame stats and single shot mode!
Y U NO LOVE STEN?

 Actually, PIAT bombers in Canadian service frequently used Tommy guns or Sten's in addition to carrying the PIAT.

 Regulation issue was a PIAT with 3 bombs in a satchel and a Lee Enfield rifle (which was swapped for an SMG when available or scrounged).

 My regiment (72 Seaforth's) had plenty of men who preferred the added weight for the additional protection that was afforded by stronger weapons.

see wikipedia :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Smith

and I quote ""Without hesitation Private Smith moved out on the road and with his Tommy gun at point-blank range, killed four Germans and drove the remainder back. Almost immediately another tank opened fire and more enemy infantry closed in on Smith's position. Obtaining some abandoned Tommy gun magazines from a ditch, he steadfastly held his position, protecting his comrade and fighting the enemy with his Tommy gun until they finally gave up and withdrew in disorder.""

Smokey was an amazing guy and he was the first to admit that he couldn't have done what he did without sufficient firepower. I had dinner with his son last year and he recalled many stories of how his dad wheeled and dealed to make sure his men were properly outfitted.


In addition, when pulled back to Britain for rest and refit, the commanding officer of the regiment purposely withheld 400 000 rounds of .45 ammunition and sufficient Tommy guns to ensure his men stood a fighting chance when they were put back into action during the Liberation of Holland and follow on action through NW Europe.


So, rather than stating that it was historically correct to give these soldiers a peashooter, it would suffice to say that balance issues preclude historically correct kits for the Canadians. (even though the germans get a rifle in their AT kit with no questions asked)



That don't look like a webley to me.

edited to add a damn hyperlink, friggin pictures never post for me on this website  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PIAT.jpg

Holy shit, it finally worked!!!!

Germans get a rifle because they carry only one Panzerfaust. And yes, historcially most nations issued some kind of smg or carbine to at troopers, German Panzerschreck guys usually carried an MP40 for instance. But ingame that would make the kit too generic, they should be gimped against infantry.

keep in mind you carry the ammo in FH2. In WW2 this was carried by an assistant
